          <p>
        When building your application during development, you should normally
        use compile options "Debug Multithreaded DLL" and link against
        <code class="filename">build_windows\Debug\libdb53d.lib</code>.  You can also
        build using a release version of the Berkeley DB libraries and tools,
        which will be placed in
        <code class="filename">build_windows\Win32\Release\libdb53.lib</code>.  When
        linking against the release build, you should compile your code with
        the "Release Multithreaded DLL" compile option.  You will also need to
        add the <code class="filename">build_windows</code> directory to the list of
        include directories of your application's project, or copy the Berkeley
        DB include files to another location.
